After Man Group he returned as CEO (and later Chairman) of International Standard Asset Management (ISAM). He has held board and investment roles across fintech, education technology, environmental software, healthcare and other sectors, and sits as a life peer in the House of Lords (created 2011).

In 2026 he was appointed Chairman of Britannia Global Markets, the FCA-regulated brokerage linked to the Britannia group associated with Julio Herrera Velutini and the broader family interests coordinated through Banvelca.
